Revision as of 23:01, 1 July 2011


Shears are a tool mentioned by Jeb on Twitter[1] and are included in Beta 1.7. They are able to quickly remove wool blocks, and are the only reasonable way to get wool from sheep by right-clicking them[2] Shears are also a legitimate way of obtaining placeable leaf blocks by left-clicking (which may be used for garden decoration like hedges).[3]

Notes

  • Shears are the only reasonable way to acquire wool from sheep. The main reason for this is an upcoming plan to have animals remain more persistent in the world, necessitating wool regrowth on sheep (and therefore, shearing).[4]
  • Many players use leaf blocks to create good-looking hedges for gardens etc. With the introduction of shears, players are able to obtain leaf blocks easier in-game without cheating, or digging ditches to plant trees in.[3]
  • Punching a sheep doesn't yield wool since this item was added. Killing it yields 1 wool block, however.
  • Breaking a wool block with a shear is very fast, and won't damage the tool.
  • Shears can be used to destroy cobwebs, string will be dropped instead of cobweb though. It will take about half a second to mine.
